Has anyone quilted Deco Delight by Fabric Freedom?
I hope someone can help - I'm halfway through quilting my Deco quilt. I plan to add some flowers and/or dragonflies in some of the larger outlined boxes.
The problem is what to do with the stained glass border?
I don't really want to outline the boxes and am happy to do a bit of FMQ, but if I use the variegated thread I've used on the rest it'll stand out on the black bits. Same if I use plain black on the coloured bits
I'm not a very experienced quilter. Can anyone suggest what to do?

I know you don't want to SITD but that's what I would do with the sashing. It will make the "windows" really stand out. If you don't want the quilting to stand out (though it would look great, IMHO), you can quilt the border in black. It's a lovely quilt you created.
